Battle of the Bands Results: Don Henley Rallies to Defeat David Crosby

Again my Battle of the Bands went down to the very last vote. In a See-Saw affair David Crosby took a 3 to 2 lead but the final two votes went for Don Henley as he rallied for the win! I'm glad I got to share a good tune from a songwriter I like. I'm happy it turned into a close battle and nobody really hated the song.



Here he is with "The Boys of Summer"

"Leather and Lace" with Stevie Nicks..

"The Heart of the Matter"

Stay tuned a new Battle is coming on the 15th!

Battle of the Bands: Through Your Hands

A new month, a new Battle of the Bands and even a new song. The song I am picking today comes from one of my favorite songwriters, John Hiatt.

                                             
                                              "Through Your Hands"

                                               Contender One: Don Henley

                                         

                                               Contender Two: David Crosby

A great song, two high profile singers I think I did my job on this Battle. Now I need you to decide the winner with your vote in the comments. I will count up the votes and announce the winner before the next battle. I hope you enjoy the song!

                                                                          

Happy Birthday Don Henley!
